Why is my 2-month-old kitten lethargic, not eating, and limp?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 2 months and 29 days old | 2 lbs

Kitty age 2 months. Bought gravel like kitty litter a day ago after being lethargic for a day we found some kitty litter gravel stuck to her anus and has since been lethargic for half a day now. Hasn't been eating or drinking for a day and a half now. Goes limp when we try to pick her up

Poor Willow! It does sound like she isn't feeling well. It would be best to bring her to a vet ASAP to check for issues such as a foreign body from eating any kitty litter, GI upset, illnesses, etc that could be causing the symptoms you are seeing, especially if this has been ongoing for more than a day.
